I totally agree. Focus reading is key. Also regarding reading speed, some texts are better written and easier to understand. Those can be read fast. Some texts are more complex, specially when it involves math or programing.

Another great tip is trying to code the thing that you've just learned. If you find yourself having to go back to the documentation, it means you did not learn it very well. You might have to do multiple iterations of that. If the stuff you're reading about is not practical, meaning you can't use it to build anything, try flashcards... Aim to describe the concept as simple as you can. If you find trouble doing it, go back to the text until you gain more understanding of the concept.
